Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 87 Sir, Can You Stop Us?
With the referee's whistle sounded, the third quarter of the game between the Rockets and the Jazz began.

The beginning of the third quarter was just as Lao Tang expected. While strengthening the defense, the Jazz kept a close eye on the Rockets in terms of score.

There is no slack in the field. The Jazz are like rocks on the snowy mountains of Utah, which are still hard after wind and rain.

The Rockets players felt the strong pressure from the Jazz at the beginning of the third quarter, from physical to mental pressure.

Those wolf-like eyes are constantly looking for the Rockets' shortcomings and opportunities for the Rockets to slack off.

That feeling made the Rockets players who played the game quite uncomfortable.

However, the old men in the Rockets are also battle-tested characters. Faced with such pressure, the old guys looked normal, commanding the young people in the Rockets to suppress the Jazz.

When facing Stockton, Mark Jackson teased and said: "John, what's wrong with you today, aren't you full? You look like wild wolves who have been hungry for three days. Is it your boss? I didn’t pay you wages, and made you all hungry.”

Stockton glanced at Mark Jackson, and continued to direct the Jazz's offense without saying a word.

Seeing this situation, Mark Jackson shrugged helplessly, and could only continue to defend, wanting to provoke this rock-like guy verbally, to be honest, Mark Jackson really didn't have such an idea.

This time, though, it seems like Mark Jackson was wrong.

See Stockton said: "Mark, what I want to tell you is that you kid is really annoying. If it wasn't on the court, I really want to beat you up."

Mark Jackson was taken aback by these few words, and said, "Hey, John, how come you can talk trash."

Stockton shrugged and said: "Just take it easy. Every time I play against you, I feel very depressed. Sometimes I think it's good to scold people. I didn't expect to scold you a few times, but it's not bad." of."

Mark Jackson rolled his eyes and said: "You dare to use me as a punching bag. I said John, you are wrong to do this. It is impossible for a noble person like you to do such a thing."

Stockton smiled and said, "Mark, it's game time. There's nothing noble or not. What we're after is victory."

Before the words fell, Stockton had already passed the ball, a beautiful ground pass, Shandon Anderson, who had already run out of the open space, made a jumper after receiving the ball, and made an accurate hit.

Looking at the ball, Mark Jackson grinned. It was obvious that he had let down his vigilance just now.

"You are really not a good person, John." Mark Jackson said with a sad face.

Stockton spread his hands and said: "Man, I told you, this is game time, there is nothing noble or not noble."

Then, he turned and went back to defend.

Seeing Mark Jackson with a sad face, Olajuwon came up and said: "Mark, I didn't expect that John's stone could also speak. You know how much pressure the Jazz is under. Well, get ready to attack."

Mark Jackson patted his cheek, smiled back and said, "No problem, Hakim, it's game time, I know, don't worry." After speaking, he picked up the ball and started to organize the attack.

Olajuwon shook his head with a smile, and followed the defense.

The Rockets still firmly controlled the situation in the third quarter and did not give the Jazz a chance.

The Rockets' powerful rhythm control ability can be seen at a glance, which makes Sloan, who is on the sidelines, feel a trace of despair.

I thought my team was resilient and could wait for a chance to come back. I didn't expect the young Rockets to be resilient under the command of a group of old men. It seems that the chance of a comeback is not very great.

At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets still led by 8 points.

82:74
The Rockets didn't let the Jazz get any chance to fight back.

During the game break, Sloan picked up the tactical board and said to the Jazz players: "Everyone did a good job, but it will be the fourth quarter soon. You have to remember to keep the pressure on the Rockets and let them make their own mistakes." , As long as they make mistakes themselves, then the victory will be ours, they will definitely make mistakes, everyone must concentrate, you know."

"clear."

Everyone in the jazz still said so firmly.

Because they believe in their head coach, this guy named Sloan has led them to comeback more than once.

They are willing to believe in Sloan, and they can command them to defeat their opponents today.

After the start of the fourth quarter, today's Rockets did not send all their substitute players as usual, but kept at least one of the Rockets' old guys on the field and played with the Rockets' young people.

This can not only increase the game experience of the young Rockets, but also prevent the Rockets from losing control of the rhythm of the game.

With the Rockets deliberately controlling the rhythm, the Jazz still couldn't catch up with the score.

Time is passing by every minute and every second, and the Rockets have pushed the Jazz to a dead end step by step.

With 6 minutes left in the game, Sloan had no choice but to give an order to counterattack without realizing that the Rockets had made a mistake.

The Jazz suddenly increased their attacking power, which caught the Rockets, who had adapted to the Jazz's game rhythm for most of the game, a little off guard.Let the Jazz play an 8:0 attack wave.

The Jazz quickly equalized the score, but the Rockets reacted quickly and launched a counterattack.

Looking at the situation on the field, Olajuwon took the initiative to ask for the ball, and Mark Jackson quickly handed the ball to Olajuwon.

Olajuwon, who got the ball, made a wrong footstep, and a beautiful cross step stuck Ostertag behind him. Facing Malone's supplementary defense, he made a small throw and hit the board into the basket.

The rocket's morale was stabilized, and then the rocket launched a counterattack.

When the Jazz were attacking, the Rockets also strengthened their defensive strength. After Malone and Stockton picked and rolled, the ball was still passed to Malone, but under the attack of Garnett and Horry, Malone did not dare to do it hard. , but handed the ball to Russell who had already cut in without the ball.

Russell, who received the ball, dribbled the ball and started layup with a big stride.

Just when Russell thought he might make an easy layup, a black shadow chased after Russell.

When Russell's ball was about to be released, a big black hand, with the sound of howling wind, directly nailed the ball to the backboard with a "snap".

After landing, Russell glanced at the man behind him in panic.

Who is it, who is it, the fans in the audience all exclaimed for a while.

It's Garnett, the skinny big boy, maybe people don't remember the high school student who just joined the Rockets.

However, what people remember is the tough man who is roaring to the sky, the man who has been called the future leader of the Rockets.

This offensive and defensive round allowed people to see the performances of the current and future leaders of the Rockets.

If Olajuwon is a kind of restrained simplicity, then Garnett is a kind of ostentatious domineering.

The future embrace of Olajuwon and Garnett made all Rockets fans see a kind of inheritance.

An inheritance of team spirit, at this moment all Rockets fans believe that the future of the Rockets is bright.

All the Jazz players shook their heads secretly when they saw this scene on the court.

Especially Shandon Anderson, now he doubts why he agreed to leave the Rockets at that time.

For money, the owner of the Rockets is the richest in the league. As long as he can persist, the Rockets will not treat him badly.

For the main force, the Jazz share two positions with Russell and Hornacek. They may play more time than the Rockets, but they are not the absolute main force.

And although the atmosphere in the Jazz's locker room is good, it is absolutely impossible to compare with the atmosphere in the Rockets' locker room.

Hey, why should I look like this now.

Without mentioning Shanton Anderson's regret, let's talk about the Rockets' current game.

After the ball was defended, the momentum of the Rockets and Jazz was completely reversed.

Rocket, who was a little dizzy from the Jazz's counterattacks just now, is now fully awake.

After stabilizing the spirit, the Rockets started their own counterattack.

Mark Jackson looked at the 3-point lead with 2 minutes left, and thought to himself: This goal is very important. Once this goal is scored, then we will open up the advantage of two goals. In that case The pressure will be back on the Jazz.

Thinking about this in his heart, but he didn't dare to neglect at all in his hand, he knew the weight of the ball.

Suddenly, Garnett raised up and blocked Russell who was defending Horry.

It may be because the layup just now was nailed to the backboard, Russell's spirit was a little distracted, and he was thrown away by Horry's acceleration.

Mark Jackson, who had noticed this situation, arrived at the ball and passed the ball accurately to Horry's hands.

At this time, there was no one within two meters of Hori.

Horry even had time to take a glance, and then shot, with a "swish", an accurate hit.

The Rockets extended the score to five points.

Holly waved his fist excitedly.

For such a goal, all the Rockets players excitedly waved their towels.

And all the Rockets fans were excitedly waving all the things they could wave in their hands. One buddy was so excited that he threw the whole bucket of popcorn in his hand into the sky, and there was a burst of popcorn rain.

Looking at the popcorn rain all over the sky, the fans next to him were very lucky. If the man had a Coke in his hand just now, it would probably be raining Coke now.

With 2 minutes left in the clock, the Rockets closed the gap to five points.

If other teams saw such a score and the current state of the Rockets, they might have to give up the game, but the Rockets faced the Jazz, a team as calm as a snow mountain.

Stockton still controlled the ball so steadily and advanced to the Rockets' half court.

After Malone's pick-and-roll, Stockton didn't take the ball out. When he saw that the defender hadn't made up, he shot directly.

"Shua" hit, and the Jazz easily returned a three-pointer.

That's Stockton, that tough Utah rock, tough guy no matter what.

There are still 1 minutes and 30 seconds left.

The Rockets started to attack, and Mark Jackson still took the ball so slowly. After halftime, after making a gesture, Olajuwon raised up to block Mark Jackson.

To everyone's surprise, Mark Jackson didn't pass the ball, he rushed into the three-point line with one stride, and Malone, who saw that things were not going well, blocked Mark Jackson's breakthrough route with one stride.

However, all of this seems to have been seen by Mark Jackson.

People stop the ball non-stop, a crotch ball, the ball directly into Garnett's hands, Garnett did not stop, after a stride, he threw himself into the air, hugged the basketball tightly with both hands, and smashed it to the ground. up the basket.

With a loud bang, Garnett dunked another two points.

The Rockets once again extended the score to 4 points.

The goal had to be scored, and the pressure was suddenly transferred to the Jazz.

But he didn't see the slightest panic in Jazz.

Continue to attack calmly like a rock.

Malone and Stockton's pick-and-roll, after the pick-and-roll, Stockton quickly dismantled the ball to Malone.

Facing Horry's defense, Malone faced the frame as a mid-range shot.

But it's a pity that the ball was a little longer and bounced off the neck of the basket.

The ball was strangled by Drex, who had shrunk to the basket to defend, and held it in his arms.

All the Rockets players and Rockets fans were jubilant for a while. Everyone knew that the Rockets had already grasped the hope of victory in their own hands.

Because, the time has less than 30 seconds left.

After calling the final timeout, the Rockets continued their offense.

The Jazz started foul tactics, but unfortunately, the free throw rate of the Rockets' players on the court is very high.

When the Jazz made consecutive fouls and free throws, the Rockets players persisted until the end.

Steadily shake the ball in.

In this way, at the end of the game, the Rockets defeated the Jazz by 106 points 100:6.

With 54 wins and 5 losses, Hao took another step towards the best record in the league.

However, the arrival of a bad news hindered the rocket's pace.
